Switzerland
• The economic framework in Switzerland is outstanding. Well-educated
workers, a stable, efficient government, a flexible labor market, and
moderate taxes form the basis for the country's prosperity. In addition,
Switzerland has one of the world's most effective and transparent
administrations.
• In terms of population, Switzerland’s gross domestic product (GDP) is the
world’s fourth highest. In the industrial sector, the engineering, electrical,
and metal industry is of key importance. Globally successful groups, like
Novartis, Roche, and Syngenta, and smaller companies form a unique life-
sciences cluster in northwestern Switzerland. Renowned research institutions
and excellently trained and technically skilled workers make Switzerland a
 favorite location for companies from the information and communication
technology sector.
• In order to ensure company success, it is essential to optimize the value
chain. Based on the value drivers in your business model, our factsheets
show you the most important arguments in favor of Switzerland as a
company location. As a lean country with low tax rates and levies,
Switzerland is an attractive location for international companies. It is one of
the most important technology locations, especially in sectors such as
information technology, telecommunications, bio technology,
pharmaceuticals and chemicals.Foreign companies can set up and register a
Swiss office in a relatively short period of time, ranging from two to four
weeks. Tax laws, work permits and costs of facilities and for newly formed
companies may vary from canton to canton. Several Swiss cantons offer
investment incentives for foreign companies. Commercial enterprises must
register with the Swiss commercial register. A company’s board of directors
must include at least one Swiss resident (for a GmbH) or the majority of the
directors must be Swiss residents (for an AG). However, foreign citizens are
allowed to hold the majority of the company’s shares.

• The Swiss federation, the 26 cantons and the 2,700 communities have the
right to levy taxes, in accordance with their own laws, as the Swiss taxation
system operates on three levels. Federal taxes include direct taxes on the
profits of legal entities, the withholding tax, stamp duties and the VAT.In
regards of cantons and communities, the principal taxes are direct taxes on
the profit and capital of legal entities, capital gains taxes and communal
taxes.However, since Switzerland has signed double taxation treaties with
most industrialized countries from all over the world, companies can benefit
from tax reductions or even tax exemptions, if certain requirements are
met.Companies with participation deduction, holding companies,
domiciliary companies and mixed companies benefit from a special tax
regime, very favorable for foreign investors.

Brazil - Market Overview

.
Brazil is the largest country in South America. Following the United States, it
is the second largest economy in the Western Hemisphere, and the eighth
fastest-growing source of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the United States
in 2017, according to SelectUSA, the USG's investment promotion
program. U.S. FDI in Brazil (stock) was $68.3 billion in 2017, a 2.8 percent
increase from 2016. U.S. direct investment in Brazil is led by manufacturing,
finance and insurance, and mining. According to the United Nations Council
on Trade and Development World Investment Report 2018, global FDI
destined to South America increased by 10 percent as recessions in the two
leading South American economies, Argentina and Brazil, ended. Specifically,
FDI in Brazil increased by 8 percent to $63 billion supported by a significant
influx in the energy sector.

Considered the eighth-largest economy in the world and the largest in Latin America,
Brazil is one of the leading economic figures in the region. In 2018, Brazil’s GDP
reached US$3.365 trillion, and according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) the
country’s GDP is expected to increase by 1% in 2019.
Brazil is considered one of the most attractive countries for foreign investors in Latin
America. This attractiveness is due to the size of its domestic market (211 million
inhabitants), its wealth of raw materials, and its economic diversification. We look at the
latest trends in foreign direct investment in Brazil.

Foreign direct investment in Brazil

Like most countries in the region, Brazil is in strong demand for foreign direct
investment (FDI) to support the development of its economy. In 2018, Brazil received
US$46 billion in FDI, according to data provided by the Brazilian Central Bank (Banco
Central do Brasil). The main investor countries are the Netherlands, the United States,
Germany, Spain, and the Bahamas. These investments were mainly directed towards
oil and gas extraction, the automotive industry, financial services, trade, electricity,
paper production, ICT, storage and transport, food industry, and mining.
In August 2019, Brazil’s FDI reached US$72 billion, representing nearly 3.91% of the
country’s GDP in the same month. In September, foreign investment increased by an
additional US$6.3 billion, which points to a good outlook for the end of the year.

The first three decades of the 20th century were boom years for Brazil’s textile
industry, as the one-time Portuguese colony was one of few countries well-
positioned to respond to demands for cloth during World War II. By the 1970s,
however, a lack of government policy, union conflicts and a difficult global
economic context had led
to the industry’s decline and its labor force had shrunk by half. In the 1990s, Brazil
became vulnerable to competi- tion from low-cost Asian countries, despite United
Nations programs to fund technology and CAD/CAM modernization, and
educational programs in textile science.
